Just think for a second how many hours have to be worked and sacrificed by taxpayers away from their families to pay for all these people and their benefits. The more they protest, the more I'm reminded that what they want for all this loud whining is for other people to work harder and keep less of the rewards. This is what greed looks like.

Ann Althouse once professed to be uncomfortable, or at least to not care much about, her conservative following, to say it was something she did not seek out or desire. In her latest series of posts, she reveals that she is no more or less than any other base conservative nowadays: She is willing to throw principle out the window in favor of the red meat she throws to her readers. Ignore the details, she tells them, because there are other details we can speculate exist that might make this okay-er than it seems. Then: Also, remember, we can threaten the left to make things even worse! Outcome-based thinking that demonstrates that it is the goal-- here, the goal of having a conservative Wisconsin Court to evaluate the conservative Wisconsin legislative and executive moves now being taken -- that is the driving force, and that the goal must be achieved even if that means giving up on little things like the truth, or little things like not having someone accused of a crime sit on the court.

I wonder if Walker will be blamed for the little boy falling down. I'm glad to see that the police officer appeared to be the responsible adult but I think the kid could’ve toughed it out to stay up with the herd. I’m sure his parent(s) was disappointed that he didn’t get to share with the full mob anger.

A crowd of people walked, sped up marginally, and stayed within the zone marked with flimsy police tape. A child tripped, was immediately helped up and attended to by adults. It's a stampede! Think of the children!

Listening to the singing of "We Shall Overcome," when they sang "Deep in my heart, I do believe..." it was hard to believe that they really still believed. It was more like they were just going through the motions.
